In some more informal media works [Name them - Ed.], the Editor may make humorous in-article comments, usually noting that the author is completely crazy in his or her views, pointing out where the article referred is located in the many back issues, or stating that the writer will soon be looking for another job if they don't watch out. Of course, their interference is only sometimes welcome. [You're fired - Ed.] See also Clue from Ed., the comic book counterpart, Footnote Fever, which covers similarly joking "annotations" in footnote form, and Alt Text, which uses mouseover text for a similar purpose. |

Became a semi-regular feature in Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) when the series became more serialized and continuity-heavy. Later issues liked to toy around with the idea, such as having "Ed" be confused and disoriented by trying to cite a non-canon issue, or having him loudly complain about needing to pop up repeatedly during a Continuity Porn sequence. | |

White Dwarf One of the editors, Guy Haley, in one of his first issues, actually consoled himself on a run of bad luck with editor's notes, leading to the main text concluding: "Great. Now I'm going insane." |

House of Leaves, where Johnny Truant or the unnamed later editor feel the need to comment on something Zampano has written (or in the former's case just descend into an insane rant). On occasion, the unnamed editor will also make notes on Johnny's notes, and once even corrects Johnny's correction to one of Zampano's own translations. | |

Cracked Articles sometimes include editor's notes for further jokes. For example: "If there’s two things Cracked is all about, it’s fucked up animals and dongs. And since they won’t let me write 'The 7 Most Fucked Up Animal Dongs,' (Editor's Note: Only because it's been written already) I had to settle for focusing on just the animal stuff." A recurring joke is the Photoshop Department commenting on the article's photos. For example, below a picture of dogs leaping from a bridge to their deaths was a caption that said: "'Please don't make me do something like this again.' -Photoshop Department." ** Other times, the note says that it was awesome making the photo. |

In an issue of Squee where he's being chased by his grandpa who wants to eat him, the grandpa shouts "The next time I see you you're going to be a lot smaller and coming out the other end!" and a note from Jhonen Vasquez says "OK, even I admit how disgusting this is." These pop up all over the place in Vasquez's comics, to the point where they're almost a running gag, though the notes aren't from an editor but explicitly from Jhonen himself. |

The Princess Bride is full of notes from William Goldman about all the stuff he cut out from S. Morgenstern's original book, which he's abridging. Sometimes it takes almost as long to explain what he was cutting and why as it would have been to leave the cut stuff alone. The film changes this to a story being told by a boy's grandfather, so he sometimes glosses over things he thinks will bore the kid. |

In The Moon Pool there are notes indicating that protagonist Dr. Goodwin's detailed and concise explanations about how the advanced technology in the novel works, have been edited out so as to not give the scientists of the Central European Powers any ideas. This also saves the author the trouble of having to come up with some reasonable sounding technobabble. | |

Sonic the Comic has notes from host character Megadroid - the Decap Attack strips in particular feature a Running Gag that Megadroid keeps using them to comment on the fact that he doesn't find the strip funny, but is forced to print them because the readers do. The second Decap Attack storyline, "Who Killed Chuck?" opens with Megadroid directly appearing on panel to complain that he can't be held responsible for it returning. |

Private Eye What that? Who he? That's enough <examples>. Especially in the spoof columns, where it's been known for, say, Glenda Slagg to be fired, re-hired and fired again over the course of a single column. In 2020 a non-spoof article alleged various awful behaviour by the Bad Boss of a PR firm, including some quite disgusting details of sexually explicit messages he sent to staff, which prompted the following note mid-article: |

The Mysterious Island indulges in some memorable Canon Welding with two other Jules Verne books, but the welding creates a messy chronological tangle that can't be resolved unless the reader indulges in massive amounts of retconning. Verne's creative solution was to call attention to this tangle in a couple of footnotes supposedly added by the publisher, each of which simply refers the reader to the other footnote! | |

Top Secret did this occasionally. The most major example comes from issue 28, where the editor-in-chief interrupts a review halfway through, supposedly to remove the reviewer's unrelated ramblings, and instead writes the second half by himself. | |

Spoofed every which way in the Legion of Super-Heroes/Bugs Bunny Special Crossover. One page has a Note from Ed that has four separate sub-footnotes, the last of which has him begging "send help". When a Note pops up on the next page, "Ed" decides he's had enough and leaves. Later in the story, the narration tries to invoke a Note, only for "Ed" to refuse and ultimately quit (apparently by punching out the narrator, as evidenced by the Note simply reading "POW!" followed by one reading "SLAM!"). | |

John Mortimer, in his Rumpole of the Bailey short stories and novels, was very enthusiastic about footnoting allusions within a story to other other stories in the Rumpole Canon, to the point of providing exact citations to stories being alluded to. [Possibly a "Take That!" to Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (internal evidence suggests that the Rumpole stories are, in part, an Homage to the Holmes stories), whose attitude towards consistency between stories was extremely casual, at best.] | |

Inverted in the 2000 election column, where he left notes to the editor. The joke was supposed to be that he wrote his "election result analysis" article the night before without actually knowing the results due to watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer instead of the news, and so left blanks and asked his editor to fill in the results later, although it became very ironic since the election took months to resolve and nobody knew the results on election night. | |
